John McCain and the Keating 5: Third Term

[flockofgoat]

Weren't the other 4 members of the Keating 5 Democrats?

[wierdannie]

its unbelievable ....

[someguyyt]

If we hadn't lost millions of potential home buyers since 1973 to abortion, they would have reached home buying age in recent years and be out buying homes. Maybe we can get the bank regulators to ban abortion because it causes serious economic problems like the ones we are experiencing now.

[Chooky707]

@someguyyt Sarcasm?

[gmstrolchi]

This is an amazingly truthful video. I beleive we would have a complete economy meltdown under McCain's leadership.

[johnnybandmember]

McCain cannot be trusted by anyone.

He felt justified cheating on his wife for 5 years as she held on to hope he would outgrow that phase, but what he did was eventually leave her for one of the bimbos.

Keating Five lined his pockets well enough that he shouldn't need to scam us anymore, but I doubt he'll stop this late in the game.

Regulation is actually what got us into this current crisis. Government regulation required the financial sector to act outside of its best interest. In other words, low interest rates, imposed by regulation, badly damaged financial institutions. Another thing, look at GDP, It fell sharply during Clinton's term and went back up in Bush's. Its business cycles. We're due for a recession about now. Please educate yourself rather than point-fingers.

[Chooky707]

@ajthe2nd Congrats on your recession call.

[pipicat111]

LEAVE THE CAT ALONE lol lol

[McCainReform]

I wonder if Obama watched this with William Ayers, Tony Rezco and Jeremiah Wright from the Acorn headquarters... Actually the day before he released this, Obama campaigned with John Glenn, who is also one of the 5 in this video- must be real damaging stuff...

Obama Accomplishments= nothing

[pipicat111]

still flogging a dead horse whoopeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[nuzbabu]

LIAR McCain. worst than Laden, Saddam combined to Americans.

Here is how Morning starts if McCain is President:

Good Morning my Fxucking Americans and Joe Six Packs and Hockey stick in moms.

I am leader of Bikini 5.

[ShotgunDart]

Oh yeah? I am leader of the Shotgun 5!

[Reignunlimited]

Mcbush shouldn't even be a senator right now, that currupt criminal should be back in the hanoi hilton where he belongs.....

[undecideddem]

thank you for this post. we need to appeal to the loyal republicans. they know that they are playing with fire. they know that their lives are much worse because of the last 8 years but it is too hard to admit that you are wrong and then have nowhere to go. we must stop the name calling and reach out a hand. respect and care for your lost republican. they need a new home.

[5xmama]

You don't change the spots on a leopard....and don't expect a change in McSame....if a change is "coming" with him its a disaster!!!!

[blueguise23]

John McCain is DANGEROUS.

He certainly can't be trusted.

McCain Sucks!

[dirckson]

McCain is a liar and a thief !!!

It's funny, the more he mudslings the more it backfires on him..Keep it comimg John!!!

[thegoosebrain]

Relax...McLame isn't going to win this election. He'll go back to doing what he does best. Passing legislation for his corporate lobbyists that will screw the average American taxpayer because he wants to deregulate everything.

[GTR1964]

Napping...

[sullyFL]

Why does any of this matter? McCain has said over and over that he is a DEREGULATOR and Phil Gramm passed the 1999 Act, which McCain supported, that caused this mess.

[cosmlayla]

It matters because hasn't learned from his mistakes.

[spiroca]

McCain is a threat for the U.S.

[mmante]

n September 1990, Keating was criminally charged with having duped Lincoln's customers into buying worthless junk bonds of American Continental Corporation; he was convicted in state court in 1992 of fraud, racketeering, and conspiracy and received a 10 year prison sentence. In January 1993, a federal conviction followed, with a 12 and a half year sentence. He spent four and a half years in prison,

[bsartist]

Pfft, only someone who isn't a "maverick" would worry about ethics or regulation. Pussies.

[ozpowermo]

"Pfft, only someone who isn't a "maverick" would worry about ethics or regulation. Pussies."

HAHAHHAAHHAHAHA :)

[shaddowwalter]

History records of the Keating 5:

"After a lengthy investigation, the Senate Ethics Committee determined in 1991 that , Alan Cranston (D-CA), Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ), and Donald W. Riegle (D-MI),had substantially and improperly interfered with the FHLBB in its investigation of Lincoln Savings. Senators John Glenn (D-OH), and John McCain (R-AZ) were cleared of having acted improperly but were criticized for having exercised "poor judgment"."

[whiteliberalvet]

He was wrong.

John "Keating Five" McCain is insane.

[sullyFL]

McCain and Glenn were known as "American heros" and got special treatment.

[shaddowwalter]

While your skepticism is warranted nothing in the records reflects your opinion.

[IIIJHUSSLEIII]

MCLAME!!

[MonsterSound]

but Faux news says McCain was cleared of anything to do with the Keating5. (snark)

[meganmcdonald2006]

weird - someone on another video posted a comment about the Clintons and the CRA and how their policies have also fed into this current crisis...Ron Paul mentioned it as well in some of his interviews. Good ideas sometimes have unintended consequences, I guess...but I suppose it's not farfetched to think that many or our politicians in both parties are in bed with business interests. Both sides have their downsides.

[NoBlinders]

A the Republican convention each speaker including Romney touted how McCain would be a Deregulator if elected, now all of a sudden McCain gets religion and becomes a born again Regulator.

[shaktimandan]

McSame and Phalin, putting America last.......

[imbill23]

. McCain aided Charles Keating chairman of the failed Lincoln Savings and Loan Association which was the target of an investigation by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board. Charles Keating served 5 yrs in prison for his corrupt mismanagement of Lincoln, shouldnt McCain be too?

[SuzInKS]

Excellent! This needs to be required viewing for the entire American electorate. I was in my late 20s when this happened and still remember thinking at the time "How in the heck are these bozo's still in congress?" Now I'm wondering why that bozo is running for President.

The parallels are frightening!

[sweetandexcellent]

McCain cannot be believed to change anything.

Keating+McCain=No change ever.

[PhotonDrive]

McSame really is a bum, and a lobbyist stooge; but gee the guy is going on 73. Lot's of people are DEAD before they reach his age. So I say, give the guy a break, and let him retire in peace to his fancy mountaintop house in Sedona AZ.???

[Michthemitch]

Mcinsane has 31 CARS,4 tanks, and 3 wifes he is really out of touch.

[POWERCHORDZ]

McSAME FAILINGS as BUSH!!

OBAMA '08

[sewerface]

This documentary is on some ol' gangsta shit.

Get 'em, Begala!

Art Hodge's tunes are the bomb.

[honestlycorrect]

*******MAC & US FINANCIAL CRISIS:

Mac identifies Phil Gramm as his Economic Guru adviser, the same guy who said: "We have sort of become a nation of whiners", and "we are experiencing a mental recession".

Gramm is also the creator of Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (1999), which reduced substantially financial regulations, and the reason why we have today the most serious financial crisis since the great depression.

Due to the punch drunk economic collapse, Wal-Mart will be open 24/7. We know you cant afford to buy, that's why I have introduced the new STALL-Warts Card Feel free to barter.

** Local taxes still apply**

[SailorsPlayhouse]

deja vu?

[DarthandDirtyCheney]

Grampy McSame was for deregulation before he was against it

[DigiLusionist]

Nice try, yourself. This year ALONE, Pres. Bush tried to get Congress to get more oversight over them, and to make changes. The Dems blocked this AGAAIN.

Read up. You'll learn something.

[buddhabreath]

What a pathetic self-delusional pile of snot you are Digi! Provide a link to back-up your hallucination please. I will not hold my breath. The truth is the opposite and Bush understand the issue and cares about the issue about as much as the average chimpanze. You idiot!

[changeintheusa]

Are you kidding, of course? Show links to back up this information? It is called historical data and public record. Do you think that McCain's involvement in this financial crisis is made-up? Brain washing does exist.

[leesagrrl]

McCain is a smug criminal... and all he got as chastised!

[cmdrgmh]

Fact: McCain was found in violation of the ethic's rule and punished.

[DigiLusionist]

The Democrats OWN this debacle. There is absolutely no disputing it. They created the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac jokes, have overseen them since the 90s, and refused any implementation by the Republicans to reform these programs.

Anyone who starts using YouTube to claim otherwise is so far beyond crap, that there are just plain lying sacks of poo.

[artmeisterfunk]

Nice try, but neither Fanny May nor Freddy Mac could have gotten into this trouble without good old fashioned Republican deregulation, much of which was authored by Phil Gramm. Phil Gramm wrote McCain's economic plan. Phil Gramm also wrote legislation with the help of financial industry lobbyists that removed new financial products called swaps from any regulation.

Credit default swaps are at the heart of the subprime meltdown.

[sxobekuj]

The record shows the Democrats ARE to blame. The Democrats have receive over $300,000,000 in campaign donations to block legislation to stop giving loans to people with no money- & they did -twice ! Including one bill submitted by McCain [S109](2005). Obama has received over $1,000,000 in the past 3 years from these companies !! This B.Clinton & friends program will now cost America Taxpayers $200Billion- this is insight on how they will control a universal healthcare system !! -see my channel-

[SoINeedAName48]

sxobej -

McCain was not "cleared" as you falsely claim.

He was formally rebuked by the Senate Ethics Committee for his nefarious actions in the Keating 5 swindle.

You republicans just love to make stuff up.

Like that "Bridge to Nowhere" that Palin was FOR ... before you was against it.

[sxobekuj]

News flash Bozos- After the investigation, the Senate Ethics Committee determined that Alan Cranston, Dennis DeConcini, and Donald Riegle had substantially and improperly interfered with its investigation of Lincoln Savings. Senators John Glenn and John McCain were cleared. That's the 3 Democrats !! And now they've gone and done it again!! Are you guys lame !; Afraid to put out facts; can't get off these lies and retoric! You guys are as pitiful as the Democrats who just stole $300M from us.

[fedwatch]

To sxobekuj: Thanks for setting the record straight on this. I get so tired of the libs mindlessly repeating their talking points when it's obvious they did not do their homework. I have an African Grey parrot that can repeat things she hears too, though she doesn't know what she's saying...guess she's a Democrat.

[ldmjb]

So why do you repugs keep bringing up Rezko, when it's been found that Obama did nothing improper. Two can play this game!

[luxetveritasnow]

Yeaahhh, news flash, just because McCain and the other guy weren't the deepest involved that doesn't mean they weren't involved. It is the Keating FIVE for a reason, they were all dirty and unethical. And seriously, trying to blame the Democrats for the current crisis just because some Democrats were among the Keating bunch? That's idiotic. Ummm, you might want to look at the actual regulatory mechanisms that caused this, and who supported the deregulation. Not party id moron.

[jeremywhittaker]

It's about time people start talking about how corrupt McCain is and the Keating 5. How fast we forget...

[AhTrini4U]

The idiots of the non-intelligent persuasion will still vote for McLame.

[crumbinator]

McCrook.

[bignewf]

Are they crooks or are they just severly stupid?  Probably a combo of both.

[BlkOnyx488]

Bush is Trash McFailin is worse Cover your ass Hide your purse four more years will bring hardache and tears This is our time to right the wrong Keep that Old fucker out of the white house and we will grow strong! I will end with one last thing to say STOP THE DRAMA VOTE OBAMA!!! TODAY!!!

[volumptuous]

heart ache

[TheRagingCelt]

I thought I'd seen this film before. Didn't like it then, don't like it now.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!
